I had a similar problem just about 1 week ago.....as I posted here, I was getting freeze-ups during install and after about the 6th install attempt, I got a RH message indicating some type of problem. After burning new ISO's from CD and passing the disk integrity check, it started looking more like a hardware problem. I swapped out every componant.... Turns out, it was the POWER SUPPLY!....that's right, too much ripple/dropout caused my MB to quit during intensive activity...like both HD's and the CD-ROM going at the same time. Inspect your hardware!....older systems like my P2-400 seem to be more tolerant of bad power and marginal parts...the new boards seem to have a very small window of tolerance.
